I'm going to post this again, for it might have been overlooked because of my having minimal little stature here. But if you want to darken the fingerboard in a way that allows you to control the darkness, and if you want to do it in a way that about as no muss/no fuss as one can get, try the Minwax ebony staining pencil.
I will add that, though we have become used to seeing a lot ebony that is totally black, a lot of (most?) ebony has a great deal of variations in darkness. I don't think you'll mind the rosewood, once you have made it a great deal darker--even if it does have, on closer inspection, some lighter grain showing.
